St Ives Holidays – What’s On in St Ives
How busy is St Ives in July?
July starts to see the ramp up of the number of people that visit St Ives.
There are many St Ives holiday cottages and, during July, these are mainly booked up so imagine the number of holiday-makers enjoying St Ives..plus coach day trippers!
Be mindful of the limitation of car parking spaces in the heart (and convenient distance to the shops and beaches) of St Ives. There are large long stay car parks within 20 minutes walk of all the action with regular buses running up and down from Royal Square so, to remove stress, our recommendation is either book a holiday cottage in St Ives with parking or use the larger car parks where you will find a parking space more easily.
We also recommend you book your restaurant table well in advance of staying in St Ives. Tables get booked quickly by drop ins and also advanced reservations, so don’t be disappointed by forgetting to book.
The beaches of St Ives have dog restrictions from July so please be sure to read up on which beaches you can visit and when.

Property Review of the Month
Review from a guest that stayed at The Garden House in JuneA wonderful property in a great location. Ideal place to get to the beaches, shops and pubs. The outdoor shower is ideal to get sand off and it is a lovely area to sit. We received a lovely welcome pack of goodies. The beds were very comfortable. Very clean with everything we needed. The bedrooms are downstairs which helped keep them cool on hot days. Highly recommend.
